Only 2.5 years into my career and I already have shoulder and wrist pain on a daily basis and I try to practice proper ergonomics every time I work.

Work standards need to be put into place to protect Sonographers from injuries from workload overload.

I have been a Sonographer for 13 years and have had pain for 7+ years due to work related injuries. This has effected my home life and I am considering what other options are for my future career.

We love what we do, but feel like we are being abused with the ridiculous workloads and overuse of our bodies. I am headed to the orthopedist tomorrow to find out whether I need shoulder surgery. I have a bicep muscle that is very painful and both forearms have severe tendinitis, all from scanning. I have already had elbow surgery, but it did little to help, because I had to go back to the same amount of scans per day and this has increased year after year. I know no other profession that employess health and well being is cast to the side in order to maximize profits. We need regulations to protect us, because after all, we work in Health"care".
Please help us make a difference.
